Could you two please run this command and report the results?

ls -als /run/dbus/system_bus_socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

The updated hotfixes script of Active Monitor contained this code and
that probably caused the problem as your symlink situation might have
been different from what a stock box might have had:

# Fix DBUS issue if /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket no
# longer is a Symlink:
if [ -f /usr/bin/systemctl ];then
  if [ ! -L /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ];then
     systemctl stop dbus
     rm /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
     ln -s /run/dbus/system_bus_socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
     systemctl start dbus
  fi
fi

With best regards
